EdwardNWM: /* List of templates */ Event

'''Templates''' are pages designed for inclusion in other pages. For a list of templates, go to [[Special:AllPages]] and change the Namespace to "Template".

== Using a template ==
To use a template in the Visual Editor, click "Insert" then "Template", or type two left curly brackets (<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki></code>). From here, you can search for the template you need, and save commonly used templates.

In the Source Editor, you will have to type the syntax manually:
<nowiki>{{Name
|parameter1 = value1
|parameter2 = value2
}}</nowiki>
Take a look at the desired template's documentation, where there may be example syntax that you can adapt.

If you insert a template with the prefix "subst:" before it (e.g. <code><nowiki>{{subst:Name}}</nowiki></code>), it will substitute the template code into the page and it will longer be editable as a template. You generally shouldn't do this unless specified on the template documentation.

== Making a template ==
Anyone can make a template! Just create a page with the prefix "Template:" and insert the text and/or code you wish to be transferred to another page. Templates can be newly written or, to save duplicating work already done, exported from another wiki like Wikipedia, and then imported here.

=== Documentation ===
To make it easy for contributors to use your template, all templates should have documentation.

Without any line breaks or spaces, write "<nowiki><noinclude>{{Documentation}}</nowiki><nowiki></noinclude></nowiki>" at the end of your template―this will transclude the information from your template's documentation page (located at "Template:Example/doc") onto the Template page, but not when using your template on another page. You should also include any categories that apply to the Template

Template documentation should have at least two parts:

# Template data: a short description of the template and information about the template's variables. Provide template data by clicking the "Edit template data" button when editing the documentation page.
# Example usage: In an "Examples" section, provide both example syntax (between <nowiki><pre> </pre></nowiki>) and an example template displayed (the same syntax but without <nowiki><pre> </pre></nowiki>).

== List of templates ==

*[[Template:Event|Event]], to be placed on any page for events (will autopopulate on [[Upcoming Events]])
* [[Template:Transclude|Transclude]], to copy part of one page on another page (will update when
* [[Template:See also|See also]] & [[Template:Main article|Main article]]: Italicized notes at the top of pages or sections, to display important links

[[:Category:Infoboxes|Infoboxes]] (using the metatemplate [[Template:Infobox|Infobox]]) can be placed on pages to easily display basic data/information about a subject. Notable infoboxes include:

* [[Template:Infobox group|Infobox group]], for student groups
* [[Template:Infobox house|Infobox house]], for campus housing

[[:Category:Userboxes|Userboxes]] (using the metatemplate [[Template:Userbox|Userbox]]) are a way to easily communicate about yourself on your [[VassarWiki:User pages|user page]].

Banners (using the metatemplate [[Template:Banner|Banner]]) can be placed at the very top of pages to notify readers of especially pertinent information.

* [[Template:Consensus|Consensus]], to be placed on VassarWiki pages to clarify level of consensus
* [[Template:Construction|Construction]], to be placed on pages under construction (recognizing that VassarWiki is a continual work in progress)

VassarWiki:What should I contribute?

EdwardNWM: /* See also */ fixed link

{{Consensus|status=position}}

[[VassarWiki:About#What can I contribute?|You can contribute almost anything to VassarWiki]]—this openness is the project's greatest strength! But you might then have the question: What ''should'' I contribute? Answering this question can be a challenge, especially for those new to wiki editing. This page is a guide to help you out.

== Prompts ==
You're almost certainly involved with some group on campus—check and see if it has a page. If it doesn't, you should make one! If a page exists already, there's lots you can add to it! Share your meeting hours and contact information so other students can get involved. If you have an event coming up, promote it (if you use [[Template:Poster]] on the page, it will soon show up on [[Upcoming Events]]). Link to your club's constitution, zines, or other resources.<ref name=":0">Note that by providing your work directly on the wiki, you agree to release it under the [https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ CC BY-SA 4.0 License]. See [[VassarWiki:Disclaimer]].</ref> There's also no need for your group to be certified by [[VSA]] to be included here. For example, campus bands are totally fair game—include your members, your discography, and links to where people can find your music!

Did you attend an event you don't want to forget? Memorialize it! Depending on how much material you have to contribute, you could make a page for the event or include details about it on the organizer's page. If you took pictures or videos, upload them to [https://commons.wikimedia.org Wikimedia Commons] to include them here (but [[VassarWiki:Policies|be mindful of people's privacy]]).

If you've published scholarship while at Vassar, or if you've worked on a unique project like a senior thesis or independent study, don't let it go unseen. Provide a link to the project, a summary, and/or the project in full.<ref name=":0" />

Alums: share your institutional knowledge! a beloved tradition that died out, or a piece of campus lore that went forgotten. If you were a member of a group, add your name and class year to a "Past members" section. Feel free to link to what you're doing after leaving the [[Vassar bubble]] on your user page.

Reading the wiki and notice a spelling or grammatical mistake? Correct it! Even if you're not associated with that group, you can still help them out—[[VassarWiki:About#Governance|VassarWiki is a collective project]].

2026-05-17T21:09:19Z

EdwardNWM: /* What can I contribute? */ wording/unlinking

{{Consensus|status=draft}}

Welcome to '''VassarWiki''', a wiki for the Vassar College community!

Put simply, a wiki is a collaboratively edited website.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki</ref> While many wikis are encyclopedias, they don't have to be. VassarWiki was created to be an encyclopedia and more: an open space for the Vassar community to collectively share and organize information. We hope to build a persistent institutional memory and bridge otherwise isolated corners of our campus.

== Getting started ==

=== Who can contribute? ===

Anyone connected to Vassar can contribute! All you have to do is [[Special:CreateAccount|sign up]] with your Vassar email. If you're connected to Vassar but lack a vassar.edu email, [https://tally.so/r/aQEMRW you have to apply to have your account approved].

=== How do I contribute? ===

Once you register an account, click the "Edit" button by a section or at the top of the page. You can either use the visual editor (recommended if you're new to editing) or switch to the source editor on the upper-right.

Make whatever changes to the page you want, write a short edit summary, and save your changes. If your changes only contain ''superficial'' differences (e.g. fixing typos or minor formatting errors), click the minor edit button before saving your changes.

If you want to create a page, search the name of the page you want and click the red link. [[VassarWiki:Templates|You may want to use a template to get started.]]

== What can I contribute? ==
{{See also|VassarWiki:What should I contribute?}}
Contributions generally don't require prior approval, so '''be bold'''! If there's an issue with your edit, another contributor can revert it and you can discuss on a talk page if needed. Please read and understand VassarWiki [[VassarWiki:Policies|policies]] before you edit. It's encouraged that you read any relevant [[VassarWiki:Guidelines|guidelines]] before you edit, but there is no need to be an expert.

VassarWiki is deliberately open-ended to adapt to community needs. There are two main types of pages:

* '''Articles''' can be about things like [[:Category:Student orgs|student orgs]], events, classes, departments, and college lore. Content should be written from a neutral third-person point of view<ref>but by no means soulless!</ref> and [[VassarWiki:Policies|be sourced when possible]].
* Every contributor has a [[VassarWiki:User pages|'''user page''']] that only they can edit. You can put pretty much anything on your user page (e.g. interests, projects, org memberships, essays or freeform content, contact information).

But there are other types of pages as well:

* Every page has a corresponding '''talk page''', where you can resolve disputes about page content or otherwise talk freely about that page's subject.
* '''[[VassarWiki:Categories|Categories]]''' are assigned to pages to assist in navigation and organization. They are listed at the bottom of a page.
* '''[[VassarWiki:Templates|Templates]]''' are pages designed for inclusion in other pages.
* '''[[VassarWiki:Files|Files]]''' like images, videos, and audio files, can be embedded in pages. Files should almost be uploaded to [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:UploadWizard Wikimedia Commons], where they will be released to the public domain.
* [[VassarWiki:Project pages|'''Project pages''']] (those with the prefix "VassarWiki") deal with the governance and maintenance of VassarWiki.

== Policies and guidelines ==
{{Main|VassarWiki:Policies|VassarWiki:Guidelines}}
Policies are the site's foundational principles that all contributors must follow. Put simply, contributors should:

* Build and respect consensus when disputes arise
* Leave a trail of citations, edit summaries, and talk page signatures
* Not publish copyrighted work here
* Not censor information they don't like
* Be civil and assume other contributors come in good faith

Guidelines are records of best practices in content and behavior. While there is no need to be an expert on guidelines when starting out, contributors should generally defer to and attempt to follow them.

Like everything on VassarWiki, policies and guidelines are established by community consensus and can change.

== Governance ==
VassarWiki adopts a collective governance model, where decisions are made through deliberation and consensus-building. The weight of each contributor's voice should be evaluated by the strength of their argument.

Certain technical actions require their access be limited to a smaller group of contributors called [[VassarWiki:Administrators|administrators]]. These actions include suspending users, deleting and restoring pages, and approving prospective contributors lacking a vassar.edu email. Administrators remain bound to community consensus and are not given any precedence in disputes.

[[VassarWiki talk:Administrators|Anyone can apply to be an administrator]]. While there are no official requirements, candidates should have a track record of constructive editing (given how new the wiki is, feel free to immediately apply if you're interested!). Applications to be an administrator are approved following community discussion. Administrators who abuse their authority should be [[VassarWiki:Reports|reported]].

EdwardNWM: /* Notable templates */ list of templates

'''Templates''' are pages designed for inclusion in other pages. For a list of templates, go to [[Special:AllPages]] and change the Namespace to "Template".

== Using a template ==
To use a template in the Visual Editor, click "Insert" then "Template", or type two left curly brackets (<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki></code>). From here, you can search for the template you need, and save commonly used templates.

In the Source Editor, you will have to type the syntax manually:
<nowiki>{{Name
|parameter1 = value1
|parameter2 = value2
}}</nowiki>
Take a look at the desired template's documentation, where there may be example syntax that you can adapt.

If you insert a template with the prefix "subst:" before it (e.g. <code><nowiki>{{subst:Name}}</nowiki></code>), it will substitute the template code into the page and it will longer be editable as a template. You generally shouldn't do this unless specified on the template documentation.

== Making a template ==
Anyone can make a template! Just create a page with the prefix "Template:" and insert the text and/or code you wish to be transferred to another page. Templates can be newly written or, to save duplicating work already done, exported from another wiki like Wikipedia, and then imported here.

=== Documentation ===
To make it easy for contributors to use your template, all templates should have documentation.

Without any line breaks or spaces, write "<nowiki><noinclude>{{Documentation}}</nowiki><nowiki></noinclude></nowiki>" at the end of your template―this will transclude the information from your template's documentation page (located at "Template:Example/doc") onto the Template page, but not when using your template on another page. You should also include any categories that apply to the Template

Template documentation should have at least two parts:

# Template data: a short description of the template and information about the template's variables. Provide template data by clicking the "Edit template data" button when editing the documentation page.
# Example usage: In an "Examples" section, provide both example syntax (between <nowiki><pre> </pre></nowiki>) and an example template displayed (the same syntax but without <nowiki><pre> </pre></nowiki>).

Many people collaborated on building the Snort. Fia, Cormac, Quin, Etta, Sophia, and Reave were the main consistent builders. Other collaborators included: Xander, Melody, Asher, Valentin, Parker (as secretary), Rache, Este, Ziva.

Fia also collaborated with two members of the grounds team, Bernardo and Jaime, to plow snow to give the Snort some more life, and to make a small snow structure by the preschool [[Winpfheimer|Wimpfheimer]].

Starting March ? there was a guestbook in the Snort that people could write notes in.

== Artwork ==
Fia has made many theoretical and representative floor plans of the Snort, and has drawn sketches of the Snort in ballpoint pen. For their Color (Art 108) midterm they made three small chalk pastel drawings on black paper. As their Drawing 1 (Art 103) final they made four large chalk pastel drawings.

== History ==
....

== Current state ==
Fia collapsed the Snort over spring break, and the very final remnants melted on March 25th. Fia is currently doing an independent study on Snow Architecture, and they will continue to update this page and maybe post the link to a digital zine here if they make one.

The '''Vassar Students Association''' ('''VSA''') is Vassar's student government.

== History ==
The VSA has its roots in the Student Association, which was formed on February 22, 1868, to organize that year's [[Founder’s Day]].<ref name=":0">https://vcencyclopedia.vassar.edu/student-organizations-and-activities/vassar-student-association-vsa/</ref> The government was relatively ineffective and undefined in scope.<ref name=":0" /> The Student Association was granted limited self-government by President Taylor and the trustees in 1889. The new charter allowed them to regulate and manage the rules created by the faculty and administration.<ref name=":0" /> They also began philanthropic initiatives at this time.<ref name=":0" />

By the 1901–1902 year, students pushed for more autonomy, in large part due to strict rules enforcing mandatory chapel attendance.<ref name=":0" /> A new charter was written in 1902, granting more extensive authority over conduct. As a result, "corridor teachers" were replaced with student hall representatives.<ref name=":0" /> By 1913, the charter was rewritten to give the Student Association authority over all non-academic student activities.<ref name=":0" />

President Henry Noble MacCracken’s progressive philosophy, contrasting with his predecessor's social conservatism, revitalized the Student Association. The first "Grant of Powers from Faculty" was given to the students in 1924, allowing them to revise the constitution to form judiciary and legislative bodies.<ref name=":0" /> The grant would be renewed every three years during MacCracken's tenure.<ref name=":0" /> The organization had major reforms in 1947, including a rename to the College Government Association (CGA).<ref name=":0" />

In 1968, students met with trustees, administration, and faculty for the Minnewaska Conference, held near Lake Minnewaska, New York. Student delegates argued for greater involvement in the affairs of the college, as well as an expansion of student rights, including protest rights.<ref>https://newspaperarchives.vassar.edu/?a=d&d=miscellany19681101-01.2.2&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN--------</ref> The association would be renamed in the 1969–1970 year to the Student Government Association (SGA).<ref name=":0" /> With the rename came changes to the constitution, including the formation of a Student Activities Committee and student seats on the Curriculum Committee.

VCycle

EdwardNWM: Created page with history

'''VCycle''' is a free bike initiative by the [[VSA]].

== History ==
The initiative began as a result of a surplus in the VSA's executive discretionary fund for the 2022–2023 year. The Director of Services for that year decided to use the surplus for a bike share program.<ref name=":0">https://miscellanynews.org/2023/10/26/news/vsa-launches-new-bike-initiative/</ref> The infrastructure for the program was bought from the company On Bike Share and totaled about $39,000.<ref name=":0" />

The rollout brought criticism over glitches in the app required to unlock a bike from the racks.<ref>https://miscellanynews.org/2024/12/04/news/comedians-expose-the-vsa-at-town-hall-roast/</ref><ref>https://miscellanynews.org/2023/11/15/opinions/kinks-in-vcycle-need-to-be-worked-out/</ref>

In April 2026, the Senate changed VCycle into a short-term bike lending program, where bikes can be checked out for a semester.<ref>https://miscellanynews.org/2026/04/16/news/vsa-updates/vsa-highlights-april-12/</ref>
